December 11 – Allcargo Logistics – part of the Avashya Group and member of the Cargo Equipment Experts (CEE) network for India – has won a contract from Reliance International to handle and transport 66 units of super over dimension cargo (SODC) from ports across India to Bina, Madhya Pradesh.

Sasan Power Limited, a subsidiary of Reliance Power, is commissioning a 3960MW thermal ultra mega power plant in the region.

Allcargo will be responsible for transportation, Customs clearance and port handling of the cargoes that include a 345 tonne generator-stator, a de-aerator measuring 43 m in length, and transformers with overall dimensions of 6.2m x 6 m x 5 m.

The transportation has required Allcargo to construct a 1,100 m bypass across the Son River, as the current bridges are not capable of supporting such heavy loads.
